The Television Critics Association announced their nominees Monday. It was the 30th year the organization — with more than 200 professional TV critics and journalists from the United States and Canada — has recognized outstanding television programming.

Last year's top winner, AMC's “Breaking Bad,” leads the Outstanding Program of the Year category, joined by HBO's “Game of Thrones,” CBS's “The Good Wife,” and newcomers “Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix) and “True Detective” (HBO).

The latter two are also competing as Outstanding New Program along with “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (Fox), “Fargo” (FX) and “Sleepy Hollow” (Fox). Since TCA doesn't divide acting categories into male and female, “Veep”'s Julia Louis-Dreyfus is up against Louis C.K. for “Louie” for comedy. Last year's drama winner, Tatiana Maslany of “Orphan Black,” vies with recent Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey of “True Detective.”

Jay Leno, who recently ended his long run as host of NBC's “Tonight,” was nominated for a Career Achievement Award. The awards will be given out July 19 at a private ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, as part of the group's biannual industry conference, which runs from July 8 to July 23.
